Rich, Here are my thoughts for what they are worth.
1) Yes. It would help us manage our maps much easier. 2) I can see an SNMP probe for a server while an HTTP probe for a web site on that server 3) I can also see a server running Vmware (or other virtual service) where you would need to ping different IP's on the same probe. 4) Separate would be nice but not a requirement as far as I am concerned. 5) Most definitely each probe should have its own notifier.

Answers to your questions: 1) Maybe if I wanted to have both a SNMP custom probe, and some sort of command line probe. In that case, I probably could not combine them into one probe myself, thus maybe the need for 1 icon with multiple probe (but I can't think of a reason to do this now). 2) Once again refers to answer to #1, where a custom or built in SNMP probe was combined with other non SNMP probes such as a command line probe. 3) In our configuration, a single IP works, but if there was the ability to attach different IP/Probes to a single map Icon, that could be useful (but I would have to think more about where/when to do that). 4) Well poll all our device at the same poll interval - once per minute - no plans to change this. 5) Having the ability to set different notifiers to different probes may be very useful. But I think that can also be accomplished with custom SNMP probes setting the correct alarm level, and only using certain levels for notification.

Why is this feature important to you? 2) What probes might you put together into a single icon? How many different combinations of probes might you create? (We'd love to have some concrete examples.) 3) For your examples, would all the probes refer to the same IP address/DNS name, or would certain probes test one address, while others would test a different address? 4) For your examples, would all the probes be executed at the same poll interval, or would you want certain probes to have their own poll interval? 5) For your examples, would one set of notifiers apply to the entire collection, or would you want certain probes to have their own set of notifiers? ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .jÂrjÒµymjzMjj ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
